Plastic anchors are used in hollow walls, doors and ceilings providing extra support for hanging objects. Available in variety of styles and strengths, plastic anchors are pushed or tapped into pre-drilled holes just smaller than the anchor itself. The opening of the plastic anchor accommodates corresponding screws.

Drop-in anchors are installed in pre-drilled holes the depth of the anchor. With the hole drilled, the anchor is dropped into the hole, slotted end first. Using a setting tool, the internal expander plug is hammered down until the rim of the anchor meets the rim of the setting tool forcing the anchor to expand in the hole. A fully installed drop-in anchor accommodates threaded bolts or rods to secure material to the concrete.

Expansion anchors are installed in concrete, brick or block using a pre-drilled hole. With the hole drilled, the anchor is inserted in the hole with the open end facing out and flush with the base material. Once installed, a corresponding bolt is inserted through the mounting fixture and into the anchor. Tightening the bolt expands the anchor in the hole securing it in the concrete, brick or block. Expansion anchors are available as single or double expansion anchors.

Hammer drive pin anchors consist of the anchor body or shaft and a pin expander and are installed in concrete, brick or block. Installed in a pre-drilled hole, drive pin anchors are inserted split end first through the mating fixture into the drilled hole with the fixture and anchor head flush against the concrete, brick or block. The anchor pin is then hammered, expanding the anchor and securing the fixture in place.

Hollow-wall anchors are used to provide a stable mounting system in typically weaker base surfaces such as drywall and gypsum board. Installed in pre-drilled holes, hollow-wall anchors typically have gripping mechanism that expands behind the wall when fully installed to support the mounted fixture.

Machine screw anchors are installed in concrete, brick or block using a pre-drilled hole. With the hole drilled, the anchor is inserted in the hole with the open end facing out and flush with the base material surface. A setting tool is required to set the anchor. Once the anchor is set, a machine screw is inserted through the mating fixture and tightened to secure.

Wood screw anchors are installed in pre-drilled holes in concrete, brick or block applications. The anchor is inserted in the hole with the open end facing out and flush with the base material surface. Once the anchor is set, a wood or sheet metal screw is inserted through the mating fixture and secured.

Wedge anchors are installed in pre-drilled holes and are supplied with a nut and washer. The anchor is inserted through the mating material and into the drilled hole until the anchor threads are below the concrete surface. The nut is tightened with a wrench wedging the clip portion of the anchor between concrete and anchor shaft.
